Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Sarcopenia refers to the loss of muscle mass and strength that occurs with aging. Therefore, the nurse should expect the client to report lack of strength and tiring easily. Weight loss and nausea are not typically associated with sarcopenia, and hair loss and thin skin are more commonly associated with other conditions such as hypothyroidism. Bleeding and bruising tendencies are more commonly associated with issues such as thrombocytopenia or clotting disorders.
